REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS. 



State House Co:\oiissioneks' Office, 

Springfield, III., December 17, 1874. 

To Ris Excellency, John L. Beveridge, 

Governor of Illinois : 

Sir — The State House Commissioners would respectfully submit their 
fourth beuuial report :

$1,050,338 68, making a total expenditure up to that date of $2,647,- 
795 49. Total amount of ai)propriatious made, $2,700,000. Unexpended 
balance in the treasury, $52,204 51. 

For expenditures for the two years ending November 30, 1874, see 
statement hereto attached marked "Exhibit A." 

On the 15th of April, 1873, the Commissioners advertised for "propo-

Albert L. Ide, Esq., of Springfield, 111., being the lowest bidder for 
tbe steam beating works, and Messrs. Jobn E. Oxley & Co., of St. Louis, 
Mo., for tbe metallic rooting, tbe contracts were awarded to tbem, re- 
spectively, on tbeir bids. The awards were accepted, contracts entered 
into, and tbey bave since prosecuted tbeir work in a very satisfactory 
manner. 

The specifications for tbe metallic roofing invited bids for i!^o. 16 sheet 
zinc and No. 20 galvanized iron. The proposals to do the work in zinc 
■were tbe lowest in every instance. 

Acting on the recommendations of tbe architects, and on tbeir own 
judgment, after consulting the best authorities at band, the Board deci- 
ded on the use of zinc. 

About one-half of the roof has passed through one entire season, has 
been subjected to the extremes of heat and cold, and so far has suffered 
nothing from contraction or expansion. 

It is bebeved that a zinc roof, of proper weight or thickness, will 
prove highly satisfactory, being comparatively cheap, and will be found 
more durable than galvanized iron, requiring no ])aiut or other protec- 
tion like iron, having within itself tbe protective elements of paint. 

Many men of practical experience contend that a properly constructed 
zinc roof is second only, it not equal, to one o<f copper, and can be fur- 
nished at from one-half to three-fifths the cost. 

Tbe contracts for the third and fourth classes of work — plain and or- 
namental plastering — were awarded to Messrs. Smith & Eastman ; for 
the fifth class — marble work — to Francis A. Drew ; and for the sixth 
class — sky -lights — to Messrs. Hayes Brothers. 

Messrs. Smith «& Eastman appeared before the Board and signified 
their acceptance of tbe awards made to them, and, on request, entered 
into contract to do the plain plastering, but declined to enter into one 
to do the ornamental work, claiming that having made an error in tbeir 
estimate tbey could not do the work for tbe amount of tbeir bid, $05,000, 
■without heavy loss. 

Owing to the wide range of the bids on this class of work, (from $G5,- 
000 to 8185,000) and the next lowest bid being $124,275— alnu)st double 
that made by Messrs. Smith & Eastman — the Commissioners declined 
to nuike another award. 

After consultation with the architects, the Board, on mature deliber- 
ation, decided that under that i)rovision of tbe law which emi)owers 
tbem to employ "such architects, mechanics and laborers as may be 
necessary for the early completion of said building," they would do a 
portion of the work by day labor, under tbe immediate direction of the 
acting architect, that they might form a more intelligent ojiinion of tbe 
value of such work, should they decide to again advertise for proj)osals, 
and to this end directed the acting architect, Mr. A. H. Tiquenard, to 
employ mechanics and laborers, and proceed with the ornauuMital ])las- 
tering of the Treasurer's office. 

C>!i the !Uh of Januaiy, 1<S74, the architects were requested to submit 
to the Board their views as to the best au<l most economical manner of 
doing the ornamental plastering, gas-fitting, plumbing and carpenter 
work. 

The architects submitted their report on the 9th of February, stating 
briefly the great difficulty of ]>repaiing such definite, coiiiplete drawings 
and sj)ecifications for the intricate and varied artistic and architectural 
work as would enable contractors to make a close and satisfactory esti- 



mate, and recoin mended that all of that work be done by day labor, 
giving it as their jiidgmeut that the same could be done cheaper and 
better, and in a more satisfactory manner, than by contract. 

After a careful examination of the whole subject, it was the unani- 
moa* opinion of the board that the several classes of work named, so 
ran into, and were so interwoven with each other, in their execution — 
each at times necessarily interfering with and retarding the other, ren- 
dering liable to contention if carried on by different parties with diverse 
interests — that they could not be carried on successfully but by joint 
action, under one control and one interest, without detriment to the 
work, and the material interests of the State. 

Believing that they were authorized under the law, and acting upon 
their deliberately formed judgment, the Board decided at their meeting, 
February 9, 1874, to employ mechanics and laborers, and do the orna- 
mental plastering, gas-fitting, plumbing and carpenter work by day la- 
bor, under the direction of the architects ; and they were directed to 
carry out this determination under such rules and regulations as might 
be adopted by the Board. 

In pursuance of this action, the work was divided into thi-ee general 
departments : 

1st. The artistic work, including the execution of all strictly orna- 
mental work in plaster and carton pierre. 

2d. The plastering, including all run mouldings, plastering, and all 
mason work therewith, and with the gas-fitting, plumbing and steam 
heating. 

3d. The carpenter work, including all work in wood, painting and 
glazing, and the plumbing and gas-fitting. 

The first class was placed under the immediate direction of the acting 
architect, the others under competent foremen, subject to the control of 
the acting architect. 

Eules were adopted governing the action of all employees, and the 
work again sub-divided into specialties, with sub-foremen in each, me- 
chanics and laborers were employed, and the work prosecuted. 

Messrs. Smith & Eastman notified the Board on the 12th of May, 
1874, that they had abandoned their contract, and declined to do the 
plain plastering, stating that as they would not be able to do the work 
as one continuous job, as they had supposed, but only at intervals, run- 
ning through several years, their doing so would result in great incon- 
venience and loss. 

To re-advertise for the plain plastering would be expensive, and 
cause delay and damage in the other branches of the work, and believ- 
ing that by combining the plain plastering with the ornamental stucco 
work it could be done cheaper, even, than the price agreed to be paid 
Messrs. Smith & Eastman, they have since been carrying on the same 
in connection with the other work, by mechanics and laborers employed 
by the day. 

The Commissioners still adhere to the opinion that they have acted 
within the law in their manner of doing the work, and they have had uo 
cause to regret their action. This course has increased very consider- 
ably the amount of their care and labor, as well as that of the architects. 
But, admitting that they properly construed the law, the wisdom of their 
action and their vindication must be sought in the results. 

By reference to the accompanying report of Messrs. Cochrane & Pique- 
nard, architects, it will be seen that the work done by day labor is 



costing less than the original estimates or lowest responsible bidder, 
■when it bad been opened to competition, though more elaborate and 
richer, and of a better character, than could reasonably be expected 
under contract work. 

The general comparison of the original estimates, and the estimates 
made by Messrs. Bauer, Carter & Deakman, under the direction of a 
committee of the 2Gth General Assembly, with the actual cost of the 
work done, in the aggregate, as well as the more special ones, niake a 
very satisfactory showing — one almost without a i>recedent in the con- 
struction of public buildings. 

For a more particular account of the amount of work that has been 
done during the last two years, t^e comparative cost, and the present 
status of the work, we would refer yon to the architect's report. 

For the further prosecution of the work we would ask for an addi- 
tional appropriation of eight hundred thousand dollars ($800,000) — five 
hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) payable out of the levy of 1874, 
and three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) out of the levy of 1875, 
making a total of $3,500,000, the limit fixed in the constitution for that 
puri^ose, without a submission to the people. 

With this appropriation we expect to complete the entire structure 
by the first of January, 1877, provided that the appropriation be made 
at an early day, and with the emergency clause so as to make the funds 
immediately available, and there be no delay. 

By section 2 of an act entitled "An act supplemental to ' an act to 
provide for the erection of a new State house,' approved February 25, 
1867," approved February 27, 1867, the Commissioners are restrained 
from entering into any contract for labor and materials requiriug an ex- 
penditure of more than five hundred dollars without advertising, and 
only as therein provided. This limit was extended to twenty-five hun- 
dred dollars, by the act of June 14, 1871. We would now recommend 
the removal of the entire restriction, by a repeal of that section. 

^0 provision has yet been made for the glass and marble tiling, fresco 
painting, gas fixtures, carpets, furniture, etc. Neither of these can be 
contracted for within the present limit and they are so varied in 
style, finish, quality and Jitncss, that a strict compliance with the law in 
the mode of purchase might, in many cases, defeat the very olject had 
in view : the j^rotection of the interest of the State. 

That the Legislature acted wisely in the original enactment, there is 
no question ; but the necessity for such restriction has now almost 
ceased to exist. If this recommendation should meet the approval of 
the Legislature, and that section of the law be repealed, their wisdom 
will suggest proper and necessary checks and restraints. 

We are greatly indebted to the architects, Messrs. Cochrane «& Pi- 
quenard, for the ability and energy with which they have executed 
their trust, and their fidelity in protecting the interest of the State, and 
would here invite attention to their report, in all its details. 

We cannot close this report without an expression of our api)recia- 
tion of the cordial co-oi)eration of the several contractors, and approval 
of the fiiithful and satisfactory manner in which they have executed 
their trusts.

ARCHITECT'S REPORT. 



Aechitect's Office, 
Springfield, III., Dec. 1, 1874. 

To the Board of Neic State Rouse Commissioners : 

Gentlemen : Your architects respectfully submit the following re- 
port of the work done on the new State House since their last biennial 
report of December 1, 1872, with such suggestions as may be advisable 
for the early completion of the building. 

At the date of our last report, the outside walls were raised on an 
average level corresponding with the lower part of the cornice ; the ro- 
tunda, or lower part of inside dome, 13 feet above the level of the first 
story above the ground floor ; the brickwork was advanced in the same 
proportion , the iron beams for floors were all laid except those in the 
upper stories of the east and west wings — part only of the roof trusses 
were under way. 

Since that time we have completed all the outside walls proper, and 
the basement of the north and east porticos ; brought the inside dome 
above the main roof and set the base of the stylobate of the dome, fin- 
ished all the inside brick work, set the balance of the iron joists and 
roof trusses, all tbe rafters and ceiling joists and sky-lights; covered 
the roof, plastered the main story, except three small rooms and the 
corridors ; prepared the models for nearly all the wall, cornice and ceil- 
ing ornaments and the mouldings of the same, and made and put up 
one-half of them. 

In reviewing the amount of work done, we find that during the last 
two years we have laid 225,976 cubic feet of stone, 25,200 cubic feet of 
granite, partially polished; 8,203 cubic feet of plain marble in the 
arches ; laid 4,496,000 bricks, worked and set 1,328,373 pounds of iron 
of the most intricate character ; plastered 8,500 yards of walls and ceil- 
ings, and run 70,000 superficial feet of cornice and otiier moulded work, 
one-half of the same being covered with Carton Pierre ornaments; 
made and laid 110,000 square feet of plaster fillings between iron beams, 
nearly completed the wiiole of the steam heating, and have on hand 
most of the materials, and have done more than one-half of the labor 
of the plumbing and gas fitting for the entire building, and have the 
whole of the marble work under way. 

We think it may be appropriate at this time to compare the value of 
the work done to date with the estimates made for the same by the or- 
der of the 26 th General Assembly. 



The sum of money paid to date is two millions six hundred and forty- 
seven thousand seven hundred and ninety-Jive dollars and forty-nine 
cents ($lJ,U47,7*J5 49,) and there is still due on retained percentage, etc., 
about forty thousand dollars ($40,000,) making a total of expenditures 
and liabilities of about $2,087,000. 

If from this amount we deduct, say $170,000 — the value of materials 
and labor on hand and paid for, hereinafter particularly stated, but not 
yet in the building — we have the total cost of the new State House as it 
now stands a little less than $l*,5U0,000.

Some of these items, such as painting, frescoing, plumbing and gas 
fitting, are only an approximation, but as they, are small, it is sulfi- 
ciently near the exact amount to be satisfactory for the comparison. 

As may be seen by the above, we have kept within the estimates 
made by ourselves with great care, and revised by three architects and 
builders appointed by the building committee of the 2(>th General As- 
sembly, notwithstanding we have in some particulai's, by a change in 
the materials, and in the style and character of the work, considerably 
increased the cash value of both the materials and labor of some of the 
paCrts. We have made the modifications advised by the resolution of the 
said building committee ; thus, all the framing of the mansard roofs and 
of the west wing is of iron, we have dispensed with all wood partitions, 
increasing the strength of the floors to render them able to carry the 
fireproof hollow blocks, replaced the iron columns and ])edestals of 
the rotunda and grand staircase by polished granite with white marble 
caps. Besides tliese advised modifications, we have rephu-ed i)lastered 
brick work by cut stone and granite inside of the rotunda, and for the 
vaults, and by plain i)olished marble in the large and small arches. 
The cari)enters' and joiners' work is much increased l)y adding heavy 
wainscoting to each room of the main story, where none was originally 



10 

intended, and a higher and more elaborate class of finish around the 
windows and doors, and by adding a large amount of ornamentation 
and carving, and large quantity of joiner's work in corriaors has been 
replace.l bv marble, and on the roof by metal. We have more than 
doubled the quantity of ornamental plastermg, and made all new mod- 
els for the same. Steam heating works have been erected outside ot 
the grounds at an increased expense in buildings, new chimney stacks, 
tunnel, and extra length of pipes. , , ^ a 4. 

As before stated, there is on hand and paid for a large anaount ot cut

—Leaving only the stone for porticos above the basement yet to be pro- 
vided for. 

With our advice your board decided to have part of the work done 
under the general direction of the acting architect, with proper fore- 
men, by day labor, on account of the difficulty for any contractor to 
offer proposals for certain work intelligently, of which we had an exam- 
ple in the bids for the ornamental plastering ; also by reason of the 
readiness with which we could either contract, change, modify or ex- 
tend our work according to the means at our disposal, or as might be 
deemed advisable to add to the beauty, architectural effect, and to the 
practical use and convenience of the diff'ereut parts ; and also as we 
then thought by reason of the low cost it would be to the State, when 
at the same time the work would be done exactly as we wanted without 
conflict with the contrary interest of a contractor. We think the re- 
sults show the wisdom of your resolution, both in relation to the cost 
and quality of the work. 

We had"^ received proposals for the plain and ornamental plastering. 
The lowest bid for plain plastering was 40 cents a yard, 50 cents for cer- 
tain specified work, 18 cents for one-coat work ; also 25 and 29 cents 
per superficial foot for cornice work. The plastering we have done to 
date would have cost, according to these bids, as follows : 

4,824.6 yards plastering, at 40 cents -'- ^^'^^^, ft

7,967.0 " " moulding over doors and windows, at 25 cents 1, J91 <5 

Total *~^'l"'* 1' 

The whole amount paid for labor and materials for doing the same 
has been $17,875, to which should be added the labor of scafiblding and 
part of the material for same, say $750, if not compensated by the value 
of the steam engine charged to that amount, making a difference of 
$5,229 19, or more than 22 per cent, in our favor. 

After Messrs. Smith and Eastman declined to do the ornamental 
plastering under their bid, we prei)ared by your order a statement of 
the cost of that work in the several departments on the basis of the pro 



I

posal made by iMessrs. Goddard & Co., wliicli we considered a reason- 
able one, and even lower than our original estimates. 

In this division our estimate for the Auditor's office was for the mod- 
eling and carton pierre work $2,L'50, and for the cornice work S087 75, 
a total of $li,935 75. For the supreme court room, modeling and carton 
pierre $3,500, cornice $1,210, total $4,710. The actual cost of executing 
the work was —

This includes the ornamentation of the walls, door and window caps 
of these rooms which were not included in the proposals. 

It will be seen from the above that the actual cost, including the ad- 
ditional work, was somewhat over the estimate. Most of the models 
used in these rooms, however, will hereafter be used in other rooms in 
dili'erent combinations, thus making entirely new ornaments without 
additional expense. All, except those that are special, have been and 
will again be used for other rooms, and on account of this repeated use 
the entire first cost of the models should not be charged up to these 
rooms. Not more than one-third or one-half of the Auditor's room and 
one-half or two-thirds of the Supreme Court room and the balance dis- 
tributed throughout the building. The reduction will reduce the actual 
cost of the Auditor's room to $2,200 or $2,400, and the Supreme Court 
room to $3,900 or $4,200, a saving of from 12 to 20 per cent. We have 
selected these rooms for our comparison as the Auditor's office is a fair 
average, and th,e Supreme court the most expensive of the work done. 
If we take another room, such as the Sui)erintendent of Public Instruc- 
tion, a large room where such models have been used, we find the cost 
to be only $904 80 instead of $1,750, the value of the estimate, showing 
a saving of $845 20 by the re-use of the old models. The carpenters' 
work of the first story rooms, though nearly double in quantity, is done 
at the value of the first estimate. 

All other work, when done according to the designs on which the 
original estimates were made, is done at a less cost, and even in cases 
where the work has been of a richer style and more elaborate, the cost 
Las seldom been in excess of these estimates. 

We may, in the future, reduce somewhat the cost of our work by sub- 
dividing, when practicable, and giving it out in contracts to the work- 
men, or by piece work, as the case may be. The mechanics will become 
more interested in the work, will make better wages by increased dili- 
gence and closer attention, and then by competition and the stimulus of 
interest, the cost of construction will, we think, be reduced. Our expe- 
rience with the stone cutting of the State Capitol of Iowa has been a 
great siiving to the State, by changing from day labor to piece work, 
the men making better wages. 

Instead of using old patterns and models and making i)la8ter casts for 

the ornamentation of the rooms of the building, you have decided to use 

■ "Carton pierre," a kind of l\q)icr Mache, generally used in Europe for 



12 

such purposes, which costs about the same as plaster casts, but is 
tougher and cau compare with wood in hardness, is more durable than 
plaster, and less liable to injury. You have also thought with us that 
the value of the building was such as would require new ornameutsand 
models made for the very place where intended to be used. Your 
Acting Architect has by your order employed artists for that purpose, 
of whose work you are now able to judge. lie has also employed spe- 
cial artisans for making "carton pierre," as it is a composition hardly 
known yet in this country. 

To use this material profitably it has to be nailed to the walls and 
ceilings like wood. We had then either to use pure plaster of Paris 
for plastering, which would have been very expensive, or find some 
composition equally good to replace it. This your Acting Ai'chitect 
has succeeded in doing without increasing the cost above ordinary plas- 
tering. 

The foreman of the Carton Pierre Department has also made an 
improvement in that composition, which enables us to make mouldings 
in imitation of carved wood, at a trifiiug cost above common plaster 
mouldings. 

Your Acting Architect has also employed skilled mechanics to make 
Scagliola or artificial marble, specimens of which may be seen in the 
Supreme Court room, the intention being to have all the corridors of 
the first and second stories of marble, real, for all such parts more ex- 
posed, artificial, for all walls, paunels and caps over the doors. 

Our roof is covered with heavy sheet zinc, a metal not yet used in 
America for this purpose, although on the oontinent of Europe it has 
replaced most of the metal roofs, as it stands the weather as well as 
copper or lead, and costs considerably less. It was suijposed that the 
greatest dilference between the extremes of temperature in summer and 
winter in this climate would be a cause of failure in using it, but we 
knew by the experience of your Acting Architect that when properly 
put on, no difference of temperature would affect it, and so far our roof 
has established the correctness of our view. As to its durability when 
exposed to the influences of the weather, aside from the effect of heat 
and cold, no doubts were entertained, as it is used every where to pro- 
tect iron from oxidation. It really paints itself, its oxide being a pro- 
tection against further oxidation. 

We had pushed the work on the building with the expectation of 
giving tlie''first'story for occupancy by the State officers and the -0th 
General Assembly tliis winter, but the general inconvenience as well as 
the dampness of the inside, which has delayed us a little, has satisfied 
the Governor ami State officers that it would not be desirable for the 
public service and for the health of all concerned to use the same, 
so we have changed somewhat the course of the work to its advan- 
tage. 

That there might be no delay in other work we were obliged to com- 
mence plastering some of the inner walls but lately ])rotected before they 
were sufficiently dried out, and as a consequence a few places aie discol- 
ored, which discoloration will be remedied by the painting. We tonk 
the precaution to have an air vacuum under and in the rear of the wood 
work to prevent it from warj>ing. Notwithstanding this, some of the 
ordinary floors are slightly affected, ^md will require^ dressing over in 
two of the rooms. We have since suspended laying floors until a more 
favorable time. 



13 

By all appearances it will require a few mouths of steam heatiii/jand 
good ventilation to render the building safe to occupy. xVU the openings 
of the building have been boarded u}) so as to prevent any more action 
of the rain, and give more eflect to the heating and ventilation of the 
enclosed rooms and corridors. 

To get the first story ready for this winter, we found that our carpen- 
ters could not with their other work do all the doors in proper time, so 
yon gave ^Ir. C. E. Cook an order for twenty-two of them. We were so 
well satisfied with his work that we advised yon to order the balance of 
the double doors of the first story, which he made to our full satisfac- 
tion. You gave him another order, and we have no doubt they will be 
as well made as the others, and that they will not cost us more, on an 
average, than they would had they been made here, we not having the 
same facilities for such fine work. 

In following the same progression with our work we can easily com- 
plete the whole building inside of two working years, if a sutticient ap- 
propriation is made. To do this we will require this final ai)i)ropria- 
tion, $800,000, to be divided as follows : the first year should be $500,000, 
and the second year $300,000; as the heaviest and most exi)ensive 
partis, the Legislative halls and corridors, rotunda and dome, will be the 
work of the first year. 

The State oflicers being desirous to occupy their apartments towards 
the first of Jnne, it would be advisable to ask the Legislature to make 
the appropriation early in the session, so as to permit us to provide for 
the tiling of corridors, for the necessary furniture of these rooms, the 
making of proper appi'oaches to the building, and also to advance early 
the work on the Legislative halls, which require considerable time to 
finish. 

We have already called your attention to the importance of having a 
larger limit fixed to the law authorizing yon to contract directly with 
proper parties for different works without advertising. We beg leave 
to renew again the advice. We have much work which cannot be given 
to the lowest bidder, but to the parties best qualified to do the work 
required : for instance, the artistical work, sculpture, fresco painting, 
and the interior ornamentation, which must be clone by skilled artists 
and mechanics selected for the different works, if tlie people of the 
State want the building to be a work of Art. A fair reasonable price 
may easily be agreed upon with such men. Again some things neces- 
sary to be used are covered by patents, such as glass tiling for the 
large circle in the rotunda on the main floor, and the inside shutters for 
the large upper windows, the latter being made by but one firm in the 
United States — then there are other items, gas fixtures, carpets, furni- 
ture, etc., which cannot be purchased advantageously, with proper selec- 
tion of colors and patterns, to fit the rooms intended to receive them, 
under the present restriction of the law. 

We believe unnecessary to rei)ort again that we have no doubt of 
the completion of the building within our old estimates. We have to 
this day worked inside of them, and will continue so to do to the best 
of our ability. 

Thankful for the continuation of your confidence, 
We remain, gentlemen. 

Your most obedient, 

COCHRANE & PIQUEXAED, 

Architect lUinou Stats Hotue.
